US Strikes Iran’s Isfahan Depot With 907 kg Bunker-Buster Bombs

The United States military struck a large ammunition depot in Iran’s Isfahan using 2,000-pound bunker-buster bombs, according to US officials cited by The Wall Street Journal, as the conflict entered its second month.

Footage posted by US President Donald Trump on Truth Social showed multiple blasts followed by fires lighting up the night sky.

The video, which was posted without any context, could not be independently verified.

According to US officials cited by WSJ, the strike involved 2,000-pound, about 907 kg, bunker-buster bombs targeting a military-linked site in Isfahan, a central Iranian city that hosts key defence facilities, including the Badr airbase.

The development comes amid ongoing diplomatic efforts, with regional powers including Pakistan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Turkey holding talks to explore a way out of the crisis.

Is The US Willing To End Its Iran Campaign Without Reopening The Strait Of Hormuz?

Trump has warned Iran that if talks with the “new, and more reasonable regime” don’t lead to a deal and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, the US will destroy Iranian energy sites, including power plants, oil wells, and Kharg Island.

President Trump told aides he’s willing to end the campaign against Iran even if the Strait of Hormuz remains largely closed, administration officials said, leaving a complex operation to reopen it for a later date, WSJ reported.

The B-2 Spirit is one of the most sophisticated and secretive aircraft ever built. Developed by Northrop Grumman during the Cold War, the bomber was designed for deep-penetration missions in contested airspace.

Only 21 were produced after the collapse of the Soviet Union, with each unit costing an estimated 2.1 billion dollars, according to news agency Reuters.

The aircraft’s bat-like design and radar-absorbing materials make it nearly invisible to radar, giving it a radar cross-section said to be comparable to that of a small bird.

Operated by a two-pilot crew, the B-2 uses extensive automation to reduce human workload and risk.

The B-2 Spirit has a range of approximately 7,000 miles, or 11,000 kilometres, without refuelling and up to 11,500 miles, or 18,500 kilometres, with one refuelling, allowing it to reach any point in the world within hours.

The B-2 is a versatile and powerful aircraft, capable of delivering a wide range of munitions to targets around the world.
